    Biden against anyone else would have made for a civilized debate, but every thing trump touches turns to **** so we got an embarrassing circus.
    It would have been the same with anyone trump debated and we all know it.

    I agree, that did not go over well. I can just imagine most people just watched with their mouth open in absolute astonishment.

    It he 2nd debate is the same as the 1st, it is safe to cancel the scheduled 3rd one !!!

    The next debate should be on a Saturday night at 11:30. They can call it Saturday Night Live. And yes, cancel the 3rd one.

    Have you checked out media sources from different countries? It seems unanimous--we Americans lost.

    Worked for Trump first time around, so it would not be smart for him to try and be who he is not. As for high idealistic hopes... that notion went out the window with dick Clinton turning Oval Office into an oral orifice.

    Very little in politics shocks me nowadays.

    I was one of these people; I was really disappointed Trump was holding back and was not properly aggressive toward sleepy Joe.

    Trump tried to intimidate and interrupt within the first ten minutes. It did not work. Trump did not know what to do after Biden got in first with the insults. Trump forgot all of his rehearsed insults. Biden won this round hands down, Trump fell asleep at the end.

    Nothing was actually debated. What came out of this debate? Trump's support of white supremacists. Biden saying to Trump "clown", "shut up", "stop yapping". And Trump attacking Biden's son over a drug problem which is something that back-fired on him - Biden would have got sympathy from voters after his admittance of his son's problem and care of his son as everyone could see it was genuine. Oh and Trump arguing with the moderator.

    I listened to the debate on the radio at 2am. The "debate" sounded worse than on TV - most of the time all I could hear was noise and incoherent bickering. The main loser was the USA.

    I'm largely unconcerned with foreigners' opinions on our domestic political scene. That being said, the leftist calls to cancel future debates indicate to me that leftists believe the debate has helped President Trump and harmed Biden, ergo Trump won.

    Of what I've seen and heard of this, President Donald Trump was extremely rude to Mike Wallace and Joe Biden and everyone else. When Biden told Trump to shut up. Biden did something right. I even told Trump to shut up as well. Trump has diarrhea of the mouth and I mean it.

    Do you never voice opinions on issues that don't concern you?

    Trump was rude, but you're cheering Biden for saying "shut up", ROFL! Liberals, you can't make this stuff up :roflol:

    I don't think you liberal folks are mad because of the chaos and interruptions of the debate, I think you're mad because Biden couldn't hold his own, Trump was quicker on his feet, and most experts feel like Trump dominated and won. What was the word Politico used..... "Bulldoze". Trump "bulldozed" Biden.

    You can't be fine with one side being argumentative, disruptive and rude, but cry when the other side does the same thing.

    Lesser nations and their petty opinions rarely matter, but them whining about their betters is rather pathetic and needs to be addressed...

    Bulshit, my friend. The USA under President Trump is just fine. Trust me. But so long you think the debates were a circus, here:

    Trump didn't have a train of thought to interrupt. He was flailing, grasping at straws, interjecting BS, avoiding direct answers to softball questions. I could almost smell his fear and desperation. He was completely unapologetic about his numerous interruptions and acted like a child when called on it, even shouting over Wallace. It was pathetic.

    Find me a Conservative poster here who agrees with you, and I will not find you a Democrat poster here who' liked anything about Trump's performance.

    Democrats will democrat.

    Trump for a fact does have diarrhea of the mouth and he proved it in the first debate against Biden. Trump's rude interrupting is evidence of it, and that is true, simple as that

    All I will say is that Trump has diarrhea of the mouth and he proved it to us all. What you say is your opinion and I spoke my peace.
